Der Gasteig brummt! – The Gasteig is Abuzz!
toInformation about the festival
From the very young to the nearly grown-up, “Der Gasteig brummt!” takes visitors on a musical voyage of discovery, providing a chance to listen, try out, dance, sing and play along. As every year, the Gasteig’s resident institutions and many of the art centre’s other partners offer a varied hands-on programme for children and youngsters. Over two days, concerts, instrument demonstrations and workshops will fill the Gasteig’s spaces with life.
Heads up!
The Der Gasteig brummt! festival 2025 will take place on February 21 and 22, 2025. You will find the programme on this page from December.
Der Gasteig brummt! 2023
For the 20th time, thousands of music enthusiasts young and old were invading the Gasteig. The two-day event on March 22nd and 22rd allowed children, youngsters, families and school classes to “invade” the Gasteig HP8 in Sendling and find out all about the music activities taking place there through a wide range of workshops, concerts and participative sessions. Get a glimpse of the programme.
“It’s great to see the kids interacting with the artists on stage with such joy. To experience this enthusiasm even from children who don’t normally have easy access to music is wonderful.”

Music as inspiration
The Der Gasteig brummt! festival has a wide range of music and activities on offer and will provide plenty of enjoyment for newcomers to the world of music as well as seasoned music fans looking for new inspiration. Bringing kids in contact with music at an early age is what motivates the makers and musicians involved as well as many teachers.
“This festival holds a wonderful mix in store for the children: it lets them experience the concert atmosphere in a big auditorium, and they can take a look backstage, where they can meet the musicians and learn all sorts of interesting things about their instruments. A trip to the Gasteig is the best way of showing kids what music is all about.”
